CFDWARP — Computationally-Efficient Detailed Plasma Model | |
Because of the novel recast alleviating the stiffness of the drift-diffusion model, it is possible to integrate the plasma transport equations in coupled form with the neutrals mass, momentum and energy conservation equations. This is in contrast to other plasma flow codes which solve the charged species equations and the neutrals transport equations using two different integration processes (which is necessary due to the conventional drift-diffusion model being too stiff to be integrated in coupled form with the neutrals). Using two different integration strategies does not only increase computational time but can also lead to problems in maintaining conservation or monotonicity when linking the two sets of equations together. |
